"It's hard to love someone as hairy as Harry"

Fresh Fiction Review

Something About Harry
Dakota Cassidy

Reviewed by Clare O'Beara
Posted November 26, 2013

Paranormal Romance

'There's Something About Harry' is the witty subtitle of this shifter tale. We can guess there's something hairy about him. He's on the phone to a call centre at the start, asking a paranormal counsellor, who claims to be a vampire, to help him out of his predicament. She isn't very helpful... and Harry keeps having visions of tasty red raw meat. Worse, his body undergoes changes just as if he was a werewolf. How did this happen to him?

THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF mistakenly drank a bottle of werewolf serum thinking it was vitamin water. He's a smart, quiet guy who works out, and he stays single because he doesn't realise the girls at Pack Cosmetics where he works admire him. Mara in particular has to hide her blushes when she receives a tweet to go help him with this situation. There's not much anyone human can do against an unhappy werewolf so it's just as well that Nina the vampire also shows up ready for action.

I liked the way that normal modern dilemmas also affect paranormal people - a lady werewolf would like to have babies without a domineering male wolf involved, and no human male is interested in her, so she decides to manage by herself. Harry meanwhile takes the scientific viewpoint that the change he has experienced can surely be undone. Mara assures him that due to this dreadful accident being the firm's responsibility, he's part of the pack now... but what if he doesn't want that?

This lively story also involves a zombie, a werewolf council, a courtroom, some strong language and adult scenes as the characters work through their problems and discover who they actually love. Dakota Cassidy has written several other paranormal books with similar titles and while this book can be read as a standalone, there are a lot of ongoing concepts which mean it might be more fun for someone already familiar with the series. THE ACCIDENTAL WEREWOLF 2: there's something about Harry that says you just have to stroke him, claws and all.

SUMMARY

He’s in a furry situation.

Accountant Harry Ralph Emerson has always been a by-the- numbers kind of guy. But when he finds himself trapped at work sprouting an obscene amount of hair, he knows his odds for maintaining normalcy are zero to none. After a frantic internet search, Harry goes through the OOPS—Out in the Open Paranormal Support—checklist and comes to a disheartening conclusion: He’s turning into a werewolf and he needs help ASAP.

She might be the only solution.

Werewolf Mara Flaherty has long carried a torch for Pack Cosmetics’s sexy single accountant, even after her attempt to seduce him went down in flames. When her sister-in-law, Marty, shows up to handle Harry’s OOPS emergency, she tasks Mara with showing the hirsute hottie the ropes. But Mara knows Harry’s condition is a result of her lab experiment gone wrong—and the previously mild-mannered object of her affection is about to give her a piece of his mind…
